Thank you guys so much for your interest in EU vs USA (+ the Americas)! It means a lot to know people are interested in a project that I intend to bring to life. Although, I do have a question for everyone,
Why are tournaments much more rare these days? I've heard so much about the good old days of FAF when tournaments were regular and fun, what exactly changed? Can this be brought back?
When I talk to people of all ratings about this issue, the common answer is always that there's no fun tournaments to sign up to and play in, although there's seasonal invitationals, Rainbow Cup, the occasional SainseRow tournament etc etc. I wish to help bring some sort of semi regular tournaments to all ratings, but mostly catering to the 1500+ scene. Would this be of interest to you guys?
It wouldn't be just me hosting tournaments either, if I can get enough interest, feedback etc I know a few people who have genuinely fun tournament ideas that they'd love to host, maybe this could be the first step to preserving some sort of competitiveness in FAF? who knows really.
Feel free to let me know, maybe a monthly or bimonthly tournament to start us off?
